Abstract
Hydrolysis at changing hydraulic retention time, recirculation, bedding straw content in the feed, bioaugmentation and the impact of those changes on gradient formation in the liquid phase in plug-flow reactors (PFRs) was examined. The pH-value, conductivity and oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) were monitored at three spots along the PFRs to study potential correlations to process performance during a total process time of 123 weeks. The on-line monitoring showed good correlations to acidogenesis: namely, the pH and ORP to the acidification, to butyric (and lactic) acid concentration and to the acid yield. The ORP (measured at the inlet) showed the most stable correlation to acidogenesis under dynamic operation, while the conductivity (at the outlet) correlated to the acid concentration in dependence on the feedstock. Multiple measurement spots as used in this study allow to gain more information about acidogenic fermentation than a single spot, simplifying process control and automation attempts with recalcitrant feedstock.
期刊介绍：
Bioresources and Bioprocessing (BIOB) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. BIOB aims at providing an international academic platform for exchanging views on and promoting research to support bioresource development, processing and utilization in a sustainable manner. As an application-oriented research journal, BIOB covers not only the application and management of bioresource technology but also the design and development of bioprocesses that will lead to new and sustainable production processes. BIOB publishes original and review articles on most topics relating to bioresource and bioprocess engineering, including: -Biochemical and microbiological engineering -Biocatalysis and biotransformation -Biosynthesis and metabolic engineering -Bioprocess and biosystems engineering -Bioenergy and biorefinery -Cell culture and biomedical engineering -Food, agricultural and marine biotechnology -Bioseparation and biopurification engineering -Bioremediation and environmental biotechnology
